Flex, influence, impress. Reinventing the associate’s role to drive retail agility through 2022 and beyond.

How to take care of retail managers so they can take care of your frontline workers

Retail managers’ plates aren’t full—they’re overflowing! They’ve had to be everything to everyone for the past two years. They’ve implemented new business practices. They’ve taken on extra hours to close staffing gaps. They’ve dealt with challenging customers during supply chain disruptions. They’ve physically and emotionally counseled drained team members. It’s no wonder managers report higher burnout rates than individual contributors. Yet your business relies on their ability to simultaneously manage their operations and lead their teams. Do your managers have the knowledge, skills and tools needed to strike this balance? Join a panel of retail HR leaders from Ashley Stewart, Dollar General and MOHR Retail as they rethink manager enablement and explore modern strategies for improving leadership behaviors, building bench strength and driving frontline performance. 

 

 

From de-escalations to delivering delight: the role of the associate in driving conversions

In 2022, consumers are excited about shopping in-store once again. But their return to brick-and-mortar is accompanied by dramatic changes in behaviors and expectations around what the in-store experience should be like—with personalized, fast and frictionless topping the wish-list. In this session, Aston Moss, General Manager, Human Resources at New Zealand retail giant Briscoe Group will be sitting down with author, publisher and retail consultant Miya Knights to explore how the rules have changed around what turns store visitors into paying customers. 

 

Frontline digital transformation: How tech is elevating the retail employee experience

Technology is forever changing the way people shop. Handheld devices help store associates pick orders for delivery and curbside pickup. Self-service and sensors allow customers to skip the checkout line. Drones and automated vehicles add speed and consistency to the last mile. But it's not just the customer experience that’s being transformed by modern technology. Retailers are also applying new digital tools to radically improve the employee experience. Join a panel of retail technology experts from Zebra Technologies and BI WORLDWIDE as they share proven practices for applying technology to make frontline work more efficient, engaging and rewarding. They’ll explore digital tactics that enable retailers to improve their frontline execution and drive business results.
